B. four

D. six <---- my answer idk if its right

Answer 1

exactamente:)

Answer 2

i think 6

Answer 3

It's four. Say you are starting on middle C. From C to C# is one half step, C# to D is another half step, D to D# is another half step, and D# to E natural is another half step. From C to E natural is a major third. So that's four half steps in total.

Answer 4

I am sorry, but it is 3. The third in a major triad is Mi. The root is Do. Do-Re is a major 2nd interval. Do-Mi is a major 3rd interval.
